These instructions detail the basic operational guidelines for using the DTP-80 Dual ThermoPik handpiece.

INTRODUCTION

The DTP-80 Dual ThermoPik handpiece provides safe, one-handed removal of a wide variety of Quad FlatPacks (PQFPs) in a matter of seconds and can even remove BGAs (Ball Grid Arrays). The Dual ThermoPik is a member of the PACE SensaTemp family of advanced handpieces.

CAUTION

Always return heated handpieces to the appropriate Tip & Tool Stand when not in use. Failure to do so may cause burns to the operator, equipment or work surfaces and may be a potential ignition source if combustible materials are nearby. Always use this handpiece in a well ventilated area to avoid the inhalation of fumes created by solder flux gases.

HANDPIECE SETUP

HANDPIECE ALIGNMENT

Check the handpiece heaters for proper alignment with each other. Proper handpiece (and tip) alignment is essential for effective operation.

1. Remove any installed tip.

2. With the handpiece at room temperature, adjust the heaters parallel to each other (refer to illustration) using the Tip Gap Adjustment Thumb Screw. If the heater ends are even with each other, go to "Power Source Connection". If the ends are not even, go to

step 3.

3. Loosen the handpiece Hinge Screw 1/2 turn.

4. Holding the handpiece in a vertical position (heaters facing down), place the ends of the two heaters against a hard flat surface to insure proper alignment. The heater ends should be even with each other and flush against the flat surface. Gently push the rear of the handpiece handles to force both heaters against the flat surface.

5. Tighten Hinge Screw to secure in position.

POWER SOURCE CONNECTION

NOTE

If using your DTP-80 ThermoPik for the first time or if you have just replaced the heater, you must follow the “DTP-80 Heater Burn-in” procedure (red tag on handpiece) to increase the life expectancy of the heater and to minimize any smoke and fumes generated by the heater on its initial power-up.

Connect the handpiece power cable connector to one of the front panel power receptacles on your PACE power source. PACE recommends that air handpieces utilize the power receptacles closest to the AUTO SNAP-VAC (or SNAP-VAC) Port to minimize cord tangles.

NOTE

To insure optimum performance, use only one Dual ThermoPik handpiece and any other SensaTemp handpiece (except TT-65 ThermoTweez) on 2 channel power sources. On MBT 250A/220A or PRC 2000 systems, use of 2 Dual ThermoPiks or a Dual ThermoPik and a ThermoTweez handpiece may be powered by the same power source with the third channel left vacant (no handpiece connected).

TIP TEMPERATURE

The DTP-80 rapidly transfers heat by contact and typically allows component removal at relatively low temperatures in the 288 - 343°C (550 - 650°F) range. Tip temperature and removal times will vary with each application. PACE recommends the use of a 316°C (600°F) tip temperature setting for initial use in any particular application. With practice, many components can be removed at lower temperatures. Use the lowest possible tip temperature that will provide rapid, yet controlled solder reflow. Lower temperatures extend tip and heater life, allow solder to remain on the lower surfaces of the tip (to improve thermal linkage between the tip and the component during component removal) and help prevent possible board damage.

Refer to the Tip & Temperature Selection System booklet for your particular handpiece/tip combination. For all Dial Display SensaTemp systems, the booklet will indicate the correct Dial Settings for the True Tip Temperature. On systems incorporating a Digital Readout, set the desired operating temperature and Tip Offset Constant for the DTP-80 handpiece/tip combination into the channel powering the DTP-80.
